Gathering

We ask for all who received invitations to our Gathering event on Saturday, 26th of this month to please return them to Brian or leave them in the shop in Streete for Brian. Whether your answer is “yes or no” please return the card as we need to tell the caterers. It will be a great help to us and we appreciate any help.

Parish history

“Streete & its People” is the official title for the Parish History which finally went to print last week after an enormous effort from parishioners, friends and the working group for the publication. It is hoped to launch in about two weeks’ time – see next week’s notes.

New Bishop

The ordination of our new Bishop Fr. Francis Duffy takes place at 3p.m. on Sunday next, 6th October in St. Mary’s Athlone. I am told there are still a limited number of entry tickets for the ceremony. If interested please contact Fr. Joe McGrath 087 8363523.

Change

Please note the Pastoral Council discussed future Mass times with a view to the future when there will be fewer priests available and decided from 1st November the Rathowen/Streete Vigil Mass will be brought back to 6pm for the future.

There was a good attendance of club members from the Roscommon region at the charity clay shoot which Roscommon RGC ran in the Streete grounds on Saturday last. All proceeds from the shoot are going to a charity in the Roscommon area. The club would like to thank all the members who have helped with the development in the club grounds over the last few weeks. A special word of thanks to Padraig McGauran and Brendan Mulligan for all their work in making the new roadway.
